Surfing Yogis with Chris Miller

Dear Friends, 

Please visit surfingyogisusa.org  and watch our 1.5 minute video on the home page before you read on.

During a recent trip to India, we witnessed a tremendous amount of suffering and our sensitive consciences continued to ask, “What can we do about it?”.  After meeting a local environmentalist, we made a pledge to raise $10,000 to support an initiative that uses surf and stand up paddle to create ecological and social change in Orissa, India. For more project details, click here.  We are excited to be a part of this initiative and we hope that you are too!

Join us for a free discussion and presentation on this important work

While traveling to India as part of a graduate studies course, Chris Miller’s heart was opened to the widespread suffering that he witnessed throughout the country. After meeting several humanitarian and ecological activists in India, including Sanjay Samantaray, Chris saw an opportunity to become involved in the alleviation of some part of this suffering and decided to found Surfing Yogis USA, a US 501(c)3 non-profit committed to this end.

Chris is a certified public accountant, holding a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Loyola Marymount University where he is also currently a candidate for a master’s degree in comparative theology. While taking study breaks, he enjoys surfing, cycling and practicing yoga and meditation to keep it all in balance.
